As I know , Knoppix will not bring up your NIC with dhcp boot option by default . Also , providers usually distribute IP settings via dhcp .
Use your Settings (or something sumular) menu to tell the system it have to obtain IP options automatically .

I ran knoppix with 'knoppix dhcp' kernel option, but that did not work. My connection (on Win XP) is configured automaticaly via dhcp. So i do not need to do any configuation.
Ok, I have this motherboard (http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/socket478/p4p800-d/overview.htm) with on-board 3COM 3C940 nic. It's a gigabit lan nic, I guess fairly new. So it could be possible that Knoppix does not have a driver for it, or that it does not detect it during bootup. If i have to run 'modprobe' what option should I specify?

After years of analyzing threat actor behavior, it’s become clear that at any given time there are specific tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that are particularly prevalent. By analyzing and understanding these TTPs, you can dramatically enhance your security program.

Knoppix includes a GUI tool for setting up your network interface. Go to the Knoppix menu -> Network/Internet -> Network card configuration.
This should start Xnetcardconfig for you and allow you to choose between DHCP and static IP addresses.

Knoppix does not have a driver for the nic. So I followed the instructions on buidling the module, and now, everything works. I should try Knoppix 3.4 and see if it already comes with driver. Thanks to all who helped.
